Description: | A copper alloy probably Medieval possible mount, probably dating from AD 1200 - 1400. The object is bent double, making it difficult to identify. It is sub-rectangular with a wide rounded end, tapering at the other end to an acorn shaped terminal with a long terminal knop. This decorative terminal could also be an elongated fleur de lis with a collar. The moulding is on the front face only. Roughening on the reverse on the bend and in the centre of the reverse may indicate where the object was mounted. It is unclear whether the object is complete, but there are no obvious breaks. The terminal is similar to that on some Medieval strap ends (NLM-EA862D for example), harness pendant suspension mounts (such as GLO-04B1F8) or casket mounts (IOW-9F3734). The metal has a brown patina and in its current form is 22.5mm long, 17.4mm wide and 7.6mm thick. 7.74g.
